Members of the SEAL Unit That Killed Osama Died in Chopper Crash

The helicopter that was shot down by the Taliban last week <a href="http://wk.putianb2b.com/"><strong>国外网赚 </strong></a> was carrying on board SEAL Troops from the unit that killed Osama bin Laden in May in his hideout in Pakistan. 31 American troops lost their lives in that incident considered the largest loss of American lives in one day. Twenty of the SEAL Team 6, the unit that participated in the killing of Osama, were on board that helicopter that day and they were all killed. Pentagon says that none of them were involved in the mission that dealt with the leader of the al-Qaeda. The Taliban claim that they lured the helicopter in that area in eastern Afghanistan, that they knew the raid was coming and that they were ready for it. It was not clear last week whether this had anything to do with the fact that the soldiers on board the helicopter were mainly Navy SEALs from the unit that killed Osama, not that this was a payback at the American troops for killing the leader of al-Qaeda. The Taliban scored a huge victory as the American troops are preparing to start pulling out of Afghanistan, considering that in ten years of war there have only been 17 helicopters or planes taken down from the skies, mostly by pilot <a href="http://wk.putianb2b.com/"><strong>网络兼职联盟 </strong></a> errors, and bad weather rather than by their rocket-propellers. That on board of that chopper were 20 Navy SEALs makes the Taliban success even bigger, given that the Navy SEALs are the elite of the American army. That they were from the same unit with those who killed Osama bin Laden adds to the Taliban attack a symbolic value of revenge for the death of he who is revered by all the Islamic fundamentalists in the Muslim world. The fact that they caused the highest one-day-death-toll since June 28, 2005, when the Taliban were able to kill 17 Navy SEALs, also adds to the symbolic value of this action of the Taliban, who assert their power as the American troops are preparing to leave. The boldness of the attacks is unprecedented, considering that from the house of the president of Afghanistan to the mighty Navy SEALs no one is spared by the breath of death Taliban bring with them. U.S. Special Forces held a changing of the guard on Monday, in which they honored the 20 combat comrades killed in action on Saturday. Speaking on the occasion, the leaders of this department of the American army <a href="http://wk.putianb2b.com/"><strong>网赚论坛 </strong></a> were careful not to go into many details about the mission that killed Osama three months ago. The circumstances of Osama's death are surrounded with unanswered questions such as why was the body dumped into the sea, why was no shred of evidence presented, was it really him, was it really then that he was killed and so on. The fact that members of the unit that killed him get killed in action could also add to the suspicions related to this episode of the war on terror. It is precisely for this reason that the Pentagon felt compelled to explain that none of those who were killed over the weekend took part in the action that killed Osama. In 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11, the Bush administration set out on the war on terror with the precise target of making Osama bin Laden pay for the deaths in September 11. Ten years after, a few months before leaving Afghanistan, Navy SEALs 6 got <a href="http://www.436100.info/view.php?id=95967"><strong>Martin Ntinda wins AquaSplash - Namibia Sport | SportShoes 24</strong></a> the job done.
